A Real Love Story?

Chapter 7:

              We drove down the dirt road for about 10 minutes before I saw a house. "Home sweet home Raven" Adam said. :Come on beautiful, let's go And be prepared because my family will freak out when they see you." he said. I didn't say anything, I just nodded. The house I stared at in awe standing in front of me was breath taking. It was a big light blue house with white trim. it had an enormous porch on the front and left side. with two chimneys and big windows, it looked so homey and comfortable.

           I was about to grab my few bags when Adam stopped me. "Nice try but I'm carrying your bags" I groaned and grabbed my cat. "Come on, I'll show you inside. I followed close behind Adam as he lea me into the pretty blue house he called home. "Wow" I whispered when we stepped into the house. "You're house is amazing" I said looking around. Adam chuckled and nodded. I stood completely still, shocked, like a deer in headlights when I heard a scream. "Ada!" I heard someone scream. I stood behind him peeking out.

          I sighed in relief when a young child came charging towards Adam. "Hey Pip!" he said excitedly, picking the little girl up. He spun her around a few times before kissing her cheek. She was having a giggling fit but immediately stopped when she saw me. "Ada....Who's that?" she asked staring at me. "Piper, this is my friend Raven. She's gonna be staying with us for awhile." Adam explained. "Oh...OH! Will she play dress up with me?! Pretty pretty please?!! Amber won't play with me anymore!" she squealed.

            Adam looked at me and I sighed. "Of course I will!" I said trying my best to fake enthusiasm. "Yay!" she screamed. "Come on! I'll show you my room!" She said happily. Adam set her down and she frowned. "Wa-wa-wait a minute Pip. Let's let Raven get her stuff settled. Then you two can play. Alright sweetie?" Adam said. She furiously nodded and ran to her room. "Alright... So I'm gonna show you all the empty room's and you can choose which one you'd prefer." he said. I nodded and he began the tour.

          There were four vacant room's. One room in the basement, two  on the level floor, and one of the top floor. It was a tough decision between the top level and the basement. I wanted the balcony but I also wanted the creepy room in the basement. Surprisingly I got both! I'll sleep in the basement and have the top floor room as an extra room. "You really don't have to do all this Adam" I said to him. He shrugged. "No one else is gonna use them. May as well put them to good use." he smiled at me. "I appreciate this Adam" I said looking around at my new room.

              He nodded. "No problem, I really want you to like it here Raven." He said. I nodded, unsure of what to say. "Ada! Come here!" I heard someone yell. We walked upstairs to find Piper waiting for us. "John won't play with me! Make him play with me Adam!" she whined. I cocked my head a little wondering who John was. "I'll play with you now Piper" I said. Adam sighed, "Just wait a minute. Piper, go get John and tell him to come here" he said and she ran off.

               "Piper is my little sister and John is her twin brother. They're 4" Adam explained. "Ad could you please make me a pbj sandwich?" John asked as he walked into the room. "Sure buddy. Where's momma?" Adam said. "She's out in the garden" Piper said. Adam nodded, making a pbj for John. Piper and I left to go play dress up. we kept playing until she dropped everything and listened very closely. "Mommy and Daddy?" she whispered.

               "Piper?!" I heard someone yell. "Mommy!" Piper screamed and darted out of the room. I quickly got up and slowly made my way to where all the commotion was coming from. Adam's back was facing me and he was talking to a man I'd never seen before. There was six people in the living room. Adam, Piper, John, and three other people I didn't recognize. Everyone was perfectly content making conversation with one another until someone noticed me.

               A shorter lady with red hair and a cute small face looked over at me with wide eyes and her mouth fell open a little bit. "Adam! Who's that?" she asked quietly. But she said it loud enough for everyone's heads to turn towards me. Crap. My face was red and I stood there wide eyed looking like an idiot staring at Adam to say something. Adam quickly came to my side and put a protective arm around me.

           "This," he said looking at me but I kept staring at everyone in front of me, "This is my friend Raven. She'll be staying with us for awhile." Adam said. The redheaded lady came up to me and hugged me. "Well hi sweetie! I'm Robin, Adam's mom!" she said. A small smile appeared on my face. "Nice to meet you" I said quietly, looking into her oh so welcoming eyes that appeared to glitter in the light. I took a chance to take in her features, she was maybe five foot two with short red curly hair, big blue eyes and scattered freckles.

               Adam and I walked down the rest of the stairs to be level with everyone else. Adam was an inch or two short of being six feet and I was about five foot six or seven. The man approached me and I immediately felt extremely uncomfortable. He shook my hand. "I'm Tate. Adam's father" he said. I nodded. "Adam, could I please talk to you? My office. Now." Tate said sharply. Adam sighed and nodded, following his dad away. Adam was almost out of the room when a girl ran up to me and tightly hugged me. 

             "Hi Raven! I'm Amber, Adam's sister! It's so great to meet you! I know we are gonna be the best of friends!" she said ecstatically. "Amber! What are you doing? Stop. You're gonna scare her away and she's a good one" Adam said and winked before disappearing out of the room. My jaw dropped at his words but I quickly shut it. "Piper! John! Go play upstairs!" Amber said. The kids ran off to their rooms. "Soooo" Amber said. "You and my brother gettin it on?!" she said wiggling her eyebrows at me.

         I stared at her in shock. "What?! No! We aren't.....involved" I said, my face bright red. OH LORD this is gonna be a long long stay.
